When Plumb enrolled at the Central School of Art in 1952, he was undoubtedly influenced and inspired by his teacher, William Turnbull, who became a close friend. His work developed rapidly through various stages, culminating in the pure abstraction of Red Line, Yellow Line, which would launch him into the 1960s and include him in the epochal ‘Situation’ exhibitions. His use of a solid surface of black paint heightens the intense and brilliant flashes of colour.
